In the tirst ballot the Clark county dele
CATION cast nine votes for Campbell and two
FOR Foran. In selecting Powell. the con
yention made the best nomination that
could have been made for the republicans.
The bringing out of Campbell would Ger
tsinly have cutdown Foraker's ma ajority. for
Campbell had expressed his disspproval of
the presidents crazy rebel flag order. of
Powell it only needs Ia be- said that he has

The significant fact is that Powell is weak
with his own party. and utterly without
strength. as a matter of course in all other
parties. In 1852 Powell. as a congressional

We have nothing Ia say against Hon.
Lyman X. Critchneld. the candidate for the
long term in the supreme court, except tina.
he is democrat. The convention did its
best bit of work in nominating Critchiield,
but the republicans will name quite as good
man. with better politics. OF Virgil p.
